    Pipe bending (15mm copper) - minimum offset with bender?

    With a traditional pipe bender, is there a minimum (parallel) offset that can be achieved over a distance of, say, 300mm? For example, could you achieve an offset of 10mm / 20mm / 30mm (and so on) over that distance? I know that benders are marked for 30° for lesser-offsets, but wonder if you...

    Bending copper pipe over 90 degrees

    Evening, Is it possible to bend 15mm copper pipe over 90 degrees? I've got a situation where I'd like to bend at about 110 degrees and I'm wondering how to. Cheers. PS. I have a pipe bender but it goes to 90 degrees.
